Those who knew Judith will remember her as a woman full of life, creativity, and warmth; a person whose presence could light up any room she entered. A lifelong admirer of the theater, she spent countless evenings enjoying performances. Her appreciation extended to the vibrant art of the Southwest. Music and dancing also brought Judith immense joy. Like her mother before her, Judith found peace and fulfillment in knitting, creating many sweaters and dresses for loved ones.
Those who were fortunate enough to know Judith will never forget her radiant smile, one that warmed hearts and lifted spirits wherever she went. She was a woman who truly lived with passion, and perhaps nothing defined her more than her passion for passion itself. Judith will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
